A Quilt from Leftovers!

My last blog was about my Prairie Flower Finish. Lots of snowballing occurred during the making of the quilt. I saved those little triangles and made half square triangles from them. Then put them together into blocks and then made a wall hanging. I am so thrilled with my something from nothing quilt.

I stitched just outside the ditch on the half square triangles.

Figure 8's in the sashing and stippling in the outer borders.

This is wedding doily number 11.

Here is wedding doily number 10.

A closer picture of number 10. I am working on number 12 and then will have three left to make. I can do this. Wedding on the 11th of June.

Love how you paired the triangles with a contrasting colour. It is beautiful and beautifully quilted too. Congrats! The doilies are wonderful too. Good luck on your goal to finish them before the deadline. ;^)
